KnownHost - Truly Affordable Virtual Server

I recently had the chance to try out a virtual private server service from KnownHost. Founded outside of Washington, DC, the privately held web hosting company also offers shared hosting and hybrid server services. On this post, however, allow me to only describe my experience on their VPS.

KnownHost offers one of the more affordable VPS plan you can find around town. Their cheapest plan, the VPS Mirco, goes for as low as $20/month. With it, you get 128MB of RAM (burstable to 512MB when needed), 7GB of storage, 125GB bandwidth and 2 dedicated IPs. You do not get any control or power panel to help you manage your account for this price. These can be subscribed for an additional $6 and $2 per month, respectively.

Also, you need extra bandwidth, my suggestion is to get the same plan that is hosted in their California datacenter.

The downside, their technical support is only available if you opt to use one of the offered control panels. Hence, I didn’t get a chance to experience their support capabilities. Yet, throughout my time with KnownHost, I didn’t encounter any downtime.

If you are confident with your UNIX commands, there’s no stopping you in getting this great offer from KnownHost.
